Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics with Concentration in Flight Science (Professional Pilot)

Program Overview

Founded in 1927, Saint Louis University's Oliver L. Parks Department of Aviation Science holds the first federally certified flight certificate in the country. Today, Saint Louis University is the only Jesuit university with a flight program, making us a premier institution for flight education. This Jesuit heritage means students learn to make ethical decisions that contribute to their personal and professional goals and allow them to enrich the community in which students live and work.

Flight Science Concentration

Enrollment capacity in the flight science concentration may be limited; therefore, early application is strongly encouraged.

In addition to the university's general admission and matriculation requirements, applicants to any flight science program must be able to pass a Federal Aviation Administration class II medical examination. It is strongly encouraged that applicants undergo a class I medical examination to ascertain that they are currently capable of passing the medical examination required of a commercial airline pilot.

This physical examination is an absolute prerequisite for flight training and must be taken before the student’s arrival on campus. Students will not be allowed to participate in any flight training activities without holding a medical certificate. For specific information regarding the examination, visit the FAA online at https://www.faa.gov/pilots/amelocator/

DA20-C1 Pre-Admission Flight Course Student LimitationsDue to safety considerations and aircraft operational limitations, students weighing more than 250 lbs. may be denied training in Saint Louis University aircraft.  Specifically, any student that weighs more than 250 lbs. must demonstrate to the chief or assistant chief instructor that they are capable of meeting the following safety requirements while seated in the pilot seat with the safety belt fastened:

  • Must be able to fully deflect the flight controls.
  • Must be able to reach the rudder pedal adjustment handle by hand.
  • Must not weigh more than 285 lbs.

Student pilots must obtain a student pilot certificate prior to solo flight. A student pilot certificate can be applied for with the assistance of the student’s flight instructor.
 
Before beginning flight training for the private pilot certificate, instrument rating, commercial pilot certificate, and multi-engine rating, students must meet Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requirements.

  • For U.S. citizens, the TSA requires flight schools to verify a student’s citizenship. This requirement may be met by presenting a current U.S. passport or an official copy of your birth certificate with a government-issued photo ID to your instructor during your initial flight slot.
  • For non-U.S. citizens, the TSA requires a background check and TSA approval before commencing flight training. For more information on this process, contact the Department of Aviation Science or reference flightschoolcandidates.gov. 

Non-U.S. citizens will be evaluated for their listening comprehension and spoken ability in addition to meeting regular English requirements. Prior to commencing flight instruction, special training will be required for students who are deficient in this evaluation.

All applications are thoroughly reviewed with the highest degree of individual care and consideration to all credentials that are submitted.
